Pitt Rivers was in Ireland [serving in the Army] from 1862-66, this object may have been obtained during this period [Bowden, 1991: 60-4]. Note that there is a black book entry 1837 'Wassail bowl Early English Suffolk (3069) Aug '83' however I think it was returned to PR in 1883 and therefore not transferred to PRM so presumably the number 3069 was used for another object. However, it is not impossible that it is this object [AP Leverhulme project on founding collection 1995-1998]
